    Fantastic

    Wow! At 50 years old my son introduced me to it, and it's my first xbox game since playing Mario Nintendo years ago. Its my favourite game. Completed it and now I'm playing Mass Effect 2. Lovely game for any age.

    Mass Effect 2 Review

    Pros:
    • Amazing story & characters
    • Gunplay feels tighter than original
    • Great voice acting
    • Good customisation
    • Good level progression
    • Improved side quest level design
    • A lot to do
    • No Mako!


    Cons:
    • Movement can still be abit clunky
    • RPG options are more limited


    Verdict: In comparison to the original Mass Effect, the sequel is an improvement in almost every single way from the story, characters, and gameplay. Mass Effect 2 is indeed one of the best sci-fi epics of all time.

    9 /10.

    The best one in the Trilogy!

    Mass effect 2 is the best one out of all 3 games!

    Everything has been improved from graphics to the combat System! There are tons of side quests to do so your never bored! And the story is the best one out of the 3 games! You're introduced to so many loveable characters and returning characters come back as well from the first game! The writing is at its Peak in this game! Over all amazing game! Would recommend!

    Absolutely amazing! Such a great story, characters are interesting. Well done

    This game in 2023 is still in my all time favourite five The storyline is absolutely thrilling interesting and emotional.

    An amazing line-up of characters with their own quests actually make you emotionally attached.

    The combat system is very good easy-to-understand.

    Voice acting is on point The DLC a really immersive ID like taking time out and spending time with the crew members after every mission.

    The team at bioware really have done a number on this game.

    The world's are fun to explore.

    Resource gathering to upgrade your ship had some funny little perks and quirks.

    Well done bioware.

    It's not pay to win or anything. It's just a genuine good all round game.

    Fascinating

    This game left me speechless with its story and the gameplay. Definitely deserves its rating. Brilliant, just brilliant.

      In the codex entry of the Mass Relay the still image of the relay has a "LOADING" watermark in the lower left hand corner of the codex's image, even though nothing is loading when reading this entry which means the image is a direct screen shot grab from the first game.
